Bandits have threatened to marry the newlywed bride they abducted and sell off 55 wedding guests. The armed bandits abducted women who were accompanying a newly-wed bride to her matrimonial home in Damari, Sabuwa LGA of Katsina State. This audacious abduction took place last Thursday as the bandits targeted the bride and her companions while they were traveling in an open van in the Sabuwa area. During the unfortunate attack, the gunmen killed at least four members of a vigilante group.

Villagers report that at least 55 wedding guests were abducted during the attack and have been held hostage since then. In a video circulating on social media, the bandits were seen threatening to marry the bride and sell the other captives if the ransom was not paid promptly.
